How long does the review process take?
Answer: The Beaver Creek Design Review Board meets on the third Wednesday of every month and applications are due three weeks prior to that meeting. In general, the time from the submittal of an application to approval from the DRB is no longer than one month. Larger more complex applications may take several months to review over the course of multiple meetings. Back to Top
Do I need approval for maintenance work to my residence/property?
Answer: You do not need approval from the DRB for routine maintenance work, including the re-painting or re-staining of your residence as long as you are continuing to use the same colors and or materials. However, you will be required to submit a ($5,000 minimum) refundable compliance deposit and schedule a pre-construction meeting with our office prior to starting work. The compliance deposit is refunded upon completion of the work. Please contact our office in advance to make us aware that you are planning some maintenance. Back to Top
Do I need approval for the removal of trees?
Answer: Yes. If you have trees that are visibly dead, please contact our office and the DRB staff will review the trees and most likely will grant you approval for removal. If you have trees that are diseased, we request that you submit an arborist report/letter stating the nature of the disease and recommendation for treatment or removal to the DRB staff for review. If you would like to remove trees on your property that are alive, you will need to submit an application for the Board to review at a regularly scheduled DRB meeting. Back to Top

What is a compliance deposit?
Answer: Prior to starting any construction, the Owner must submit a compliance deposit in the amount of 2% of the project cost with a minimum of $5,000, payable to Beaver Creek Resort Company. The compliance deposit is security for the Owner’s full and faithful performance of its Construction Activity in accordance with its approved plans and the Construction Rules and Regulations. The compliance deposit will be held until a Certificate of Compliance is issued. Please contact our office to request a final inspection upon completion of your project. Back to Top
How and when do I get my compliance deposit back?
Answer: After you complete your project, please contact our office to request a final inspection. The DRB staff will inspect the property and issue a certificate of compliance if all the work is completed per the approved plans. Once a certificate of compliance is issued, the DRB staff will request a refund of the compliance deposit from our accountant. Generally speaking, you will receive the refund within approximately three weeks from the day that you call to request a final inspection. Back to Top
What is a pre-construction meeting?
Answer: A pre-construction meeting is a meeting with the contractor, DRB staff, Beaver Creek Security, and Beaver Creek Metropolitan District. The meeting is an opportunity to discuss the scope of the project, location of any dumpsters or toilets, the construction staging area, contractor parking, and the Beaver Creek Construction Rules and Regulations. Pre-construction meetings in Beaver Creek are held on Tuesdays at the property. Please contact our office by 3:00pm on the preceding Friday to schedule this meeting. Back to Top

Where is the Design Review Administration office located?
Answer: Our office is located in the Brookside Center, 37347 US Highway 6 in Avon. The building is just west of the Highway 6/ Prater Road intersection. We are the first suite on your left when you enter the building. Back to Top
What is a staff approval?
Answer: Projects that have minimal exterior impacts or are considered routine may be staff approved independent of the regularly scheduled monthly DRB meeting in order to expedite the project prior to formal review by the DRB. The DRB staff will determine if a project requires formal Board review and approval. Each application and the resulting review process will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the complexity, scope and exterior impact of the proposed plan. Please note that staff approvals must be ratified by the DRB at a regular meeting and any work performed by the owner prior to ratification is at their risk. Back to Top
How do I schedule an inspection?
Answer: To schedule a final inspection, please call our office at (970)754-3147 to request this inspection. To request a foundation or framing inspection, please submit an Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) indicating the location of the foundation or the roof ridges to our office and the DRB staff will conduct the inspection.

Can I appeal a fine?
Answer: An Owner may appeal any fine imposed against the Owner by the DRB or the Beaver Creek Security Department to the DRB's Fine Appeals Committee (the "FAC") within five days after receiving the written fine. The Owner must file a written appeal with the FAC that contains a brief statement of the factual and legal grounds of the appeal. If the Owner fails to file a written appeal with the FAC within such five-day period, the Owner shall have no further right to appeal the fine. If the Owner files a written appeal within such five-day period, the FAC may review such appeal and deliver a written decision within thirty days after its receipt of such appeal or (ii) waive its right to hear such appeal, in which case an Owner may proceed in accordance with the Resort Company's Fine and Penalty Appeal Regulation. If the FAC decides in favor of the Owner, the DRB or the Security Department, as the case may be, shall revoke its notice imposing the fine. If the FAC decides in favor of the DRB or the Security Department, as the case may be, the Owner shall pay such fine within five days after its receipt of the FAC's decision. Back to Top
